Third Quarter 2021 Business Highlights
- Completed successful public listing of common shares on the Nasdaq Global Market under the ticker symbol “GAMB”
- Announced appointment of Mr. Daniel D’Arrigo to Board of Directors
- Received temporary supplier license from the Arizona Department of Gaming to provide marketing services to licensed operators in the state and launched free-to-use comparison of legal online sports betting services on BetArizona.com

- Completed acquisition of domains suitable for targeting the US market
“Our financial performance in the third quarter remained strong as we grew revenue by 37% compared to the prior year and, despite the third quarter being the seasonally slowest quarter of the year, delivered an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34%,” said Charles Gillespie, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Gambling.com Group. “Importantly, after the quiet summer months of July and August, we delivered all-time-high revenue in September. With the launch of Arizona and the kickoff of the NFL season, we saw a significant uplift in U.S. revenue in September and our U.S. performance exceeded our internal expectations. Entering the quarter with good momentum we are encouraged by the start to our seasonally stronger fourth quarter. We remain highly focused on prudently growing the Company through both sustained organic growth and future accretive acquisitions which we continue to actively pursue”

Revenue
Total revenue in the third quarter increased 37% to $10.1 million compared to $7.4 million in the comparable period for the prior year. On a constant currency basis, revenue increased $2.3 million, or 30%. The increase was driven by improved monetization of NDCs that we attribute to a combination of technology improvements and changes in product and market mix. NDCs decreased 4% to 27,000 compared to 28,000 in the prior year.

Total operating expenses increased by $3.8 million to $7.7 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior year. On a constant currency basis, operating expenses increased by $3.5 million to $7.7 million compared to $4.2 million in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by headcount across Sales and Marketing, Technology, and General and Administrative functions as we invest in the Company’s organic growth initiatives as well as increased administrative expenses associated with operating as a public company.
Sales and Marketing expenses totaled $3.6 million compared to $1.8 million in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by increased wages and salary expenses associated with increased headcount and professional services.
Technology expenses totaled $1.1 million compared to $0.7 million in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by increased wages and salary expenses associated with increased headcount partially offset by capitalized development costs.
General and Administrative expenses totaled $3.0 million compared to $1.4 million in the prior year. The increase was driven primarily by increased wages and salary expenses associated with increased headcount, professional services, and insurance expenses.
Earnings
Adjusted EBITDA decreased by 14% to $3.5 million compared to $4.0 million in the prior year representing an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34%. The decrease was driven primarily by increased operating expenses partly offset by increased revenue.
Operating profit in the third quarter decreased 31% to $2.4 million compared to $3.5 million in 2020. The decrease was driven primarily by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA and an increase in share-based payments expense.
Net income in the third quarter totaled $4.7 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.3 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, in the prior year. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of deferred tax assets related to the transferred intangible assets.
Free Cash-flow
Total cash generated from operations of $1.4 million decreased 65% compared to $4.0 million in the prior year. The decrease was driven primarily by decreased adjusted EBITDA, the settlement of non-recurring IPO-related expenses and income tax payments. Free cash flow totaled $0.8 million compared to $3.9 million in the prior year. The decline was the result of decreased cash flow generated from operations and increased capital expenditures consisting primarily of the acquisition of domain names and capitalized development costs.
Balance Sheet
Cash balances as of September 30, 2021 totaled $53.2 million, an increase of $45.0 million compared to $8.2 million as of December 31, 2020. Working capital as of September 30, 2021 totaled $55.1 million, an increase of $45.0 million compared to $10.1 million as of December 31, 2020.
Total assets as of September 30, 2021 were $91.6 million compared to $45.4 million as of December 30, 2020. Total borrowings, including accrued interest, totaled $5.9 million compared to $6.0 million as of December 31, 2020. Total liabilities were $11.4 million compared to $11.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
Total equity as of September 30, 2021 was $80.3 million compared to $34.2 million as of December 31, 2020.
The increases in working capital, total assets, and total equity were driven primarily by the net proceeds received from the IPO and operating profit and net income generated by the Company.

2021 Outlook
Elias Mark, Chief Financial Officer of Gambling.com Group, added, “Our third quarter results came in a bit above our expectations and after slow summer trading our financial performance accelerated in September to close out the quarter with the best month in the Company’s history. Our Adjusted EBITDA margin of 34% in the quarter was healthy despite a seasonally slow quarter and investments in scaling the organization for organic growth initiatives and operating as a public company. This is consistent with our prior guidance that our near-term margins may deviate from our average 40% target as we invest in our organic growth plan and pursue our M&A strategy. For the full year, we are reiterating our expectation to achieve both above 40% year-on-year organic revenue growth and approximately 40% Adjusted EBITDA margin. We remain in a very strong financial position after the IPO last quarter which offers us significant optionality going forward to execute our growth plan and each of our capital allocation priorities.”

TheLotter US Expands its Lottery Courier Service to Arizona

TheLotter US has expanded its trusted lottery courier service to Arizona, following successful launches in New Jersey and New York just last year. With this latest addition, TheLotter US now operates in five states, including Oregon, and Minnesota.
Yael Hertz, CEO of TheLotter Group, said: “We’re thrilled to expand our service to yet another state. Now, Arizona residents can enjoy the convenience of entering their favorite lottery draws without having to go out and buy a ticket.”
TheLotter US fulfills lottery ticket orders on customers’ behalf at licensed retailers, scans them, and uploads them to their personal accounts before the draw. From there, they can view their ticket and track their numbers with ease.
With years of experience in the industry, TheLotter US is making lottery play more convenient than ever. Their dedicated 24/7 customer support ensures players always receive prompt and reliable assistance whenever they need it.
Over time, TheLotter US has built a loyal customer base by consistently proving itself as a trusted and reliable service.
Creating an account takes just minutes. After verifying their info, users can choose their favorite lottery game, pick their lucky numbers or use Quick Pick, select the number of lines to be added, and confirm their order. TheLotter US will take it from there.
With years of experience and a solid reputation, TheLotter US uses top-tier security measures like GeoTrust 128-bit SSL encryption to protect all transactions. Plus, ticket scans will be viewable in customers’ accounts before the draw for total transparency, and their 24/7 customer support is always there to assist with any and all queries.
Arizona has seen some incredible jackpot wins, including a $108 million Mega Millions prize in Lake Havasu City just four years ago. More recently, in January 2025, a lucky player in Tempe became the sole winner of a $112 million jackpot.
This win has special significance, as the winner purchased their ticket through an online lottery courier service. This incredible win highlights how ticket courier services make it easier than ever for players to enter their favorite draws—and seize life-changing opportunities.
Now that TheLotter US is live in Arizona, Arizona residents have the same opportunity to play for the biggest prizes and create their own “jackpot moment”.
